About Woojin

Associate Professor Woojin Kim serves in the Neuroscience Research Theme, School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. He is affiliated with the Brain and Mind Centre and contributes to research on neurodegenerative disorders. His investigations center on lipid metabolism dysregulation, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and biomarker development for diseases including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Kim's studies explore how alterations in lipid pathways, such as sphingomyelin and cholesterol homeostasis in glial cells, contribute to disease pathology. He examines ABC transporters like ABCA7 and ABCA5 in brain lipid transport and their implications for neurodegeneration. Additionally, his work addresses alpha-synuclein aggregation, endogenous retroviruses, and biofluid changes predictive of neurodegeneration.
